Emily Maynard is down to four guys on "The Bachelorette." Shooting has already wrapped, but the finale won't air until next month. The Big Fat Rumor of the Day says Emily has found love on the show, but not with one of the remaining bachelors - Arie, Sean, Jef or Chris. They say she's "madly in love" with host Chris Harrison. In addition to anonymous insiders, "Star" magazine has quotes from Vienna Girardi, who won "The Bachelor" the season before Emily did. Vienna says, "From the beginning, I always said there was no way Emily was really going to end up with one of the guys because she really wanted to be with Chris, and it was obvious he wanted to be with her too. I vacationed with Chris and his family in St. Lucia, and I know him well. He was never with his wife. He's such a flirt." Remember we told you just about a month ago that Chris and his wife announced they were splitting up after 18 years of marriage. But Vienna doesn't stop there. "I guarantee Emily and Chris will end up together in the end. If she gets engaged to another man, the show will probably spin it as a love triangle." "Star" also claims Emily and Chris backed up the romance rumors last month, when Emily Tweeted a picture of them together at the "Dancing with the Stars" finale, with the caption, "I had so much fun with @ChrisBHarrison tonight." Chris re-Tweeted it, and said, "Great night with my friend."

Ann Curry said goodbye this morning on NBC's "The Today Show" but she isn't going anywhere. She has a new contract to head a 7-person special assignment unit. We expect Savannah Gutherie will be selected for the co-host chair. But if you’ve wondered why Natalie Moralis has been overlooked for the co-host position, oh there’s a reason. A good reason! Matt Lauer's wife Annette Roque isn't happy about the situation. She’s worried that the replacement will be none other than Natalie, the woman Matt was not only accused of having an affair with, but also fathering one of her children. Natalie has been a regular fixture on the show for a few years now and it's now rumored she's threatening to quit the show if she doesn't get the job even though Savannah Guthrie is the front-runner. But that’s not the only threat going around. Annette reportedly said that if Natalie gets the job, she's divorcing Matt. When she heard about Ann getting the boot, the first thing she told Matt was that she didn't want him cozying up any closer to Natalie. In fact, Annette said if he pushed show bosses to make Natalie his new co-host, their marriage is over. Annette knows Matt is the key to the "Today" franchise and his bosses will put whoever he wants in the co-host chair.

Ke$ha is infamous for saying and doing stupid things. But here's her latest stunt: Ke$ha has tattooed the words "SUCK IT!" on the inside of her bottom lip. For what it's worth, this isn't super permanent ink. Lip tattoos fade fairly quickly, so if she doesn't get it touched up, this one could be gone by her next dentist appointment.

Congratulations to Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. They're expecting not one, but two babies! The celebrity twin pregnancy trend continues! There's no word on the sex of the babies yet. Stephen already has a 10-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son from a previous relationship.
